    My Camino de Santiago de Compostela was amazing! However, I am not sure if we got the list of items we needed for the Camino from Tourradar or Explore, but both myself and my friend way overpacked and had to pay extra for luggage. Otherwise, the experience is one of a lifetime! Thanks

    Itinerary was good. Guide was excellent. Hotels a problem. These basic 2-star pñaces are below what I have experienced with Explore in the past. You are dropping well below your previous standards and are overcharging if this is the expectation. Sad.

    The guided tour of Leon and seeing the magnificent cathedral and many of the beautiful buildings in the city. Staying just off the cathedral Square was wonderful, even though it was a Hostal! Ascending to the Iron Cross was just just so special, and seeing the changes in landscapes, vegetations, and long vistas was one of the best days of the walk. Of all the hostals/ hotels that we stayed in, the Pazo de Sedor, my highlight, as was the set dinner that we had there. Of course the final day, looking down towards Santiago, seeing the spires/ towers of the cathedral, and finally walking into the cathedral Square, to join the others in our group was just incredible!
